12 Microsoft Fabric
Understanding the top pain points of Data Professionals
Data Engineers
Complexity. Implementing
ETL can require considerable
coding, especially when
loading only modified rows.
Cost. Implementing ETL can
require an exorbitant cost of
purchasing additional tools
and licenses.
Data latency. Implementing
ETL adds a time delay for
running the analytics and
prevents fresh insights.
Data Scientists
Siloed development. Isolated
collaboration between Data
and ML teams leads to low
quality data pipelines and
unproven ML ROI. Difficulty in
stream-lining decision-making
processes.
Complex operationalization.
ML PoC purgatory. High cost of
management, scale, reliability,
RAI. Reduced trust
disconnected from data source.
Data Analysts
Bad data. Lack of access to
the right data leads to bad
insights.
Limited capacity and speed.
Struggle to keep up with the
number of reports needed to
be created and maintained,
slowed by dependencies on
other data teams.
Embedding. Finding ways to
integrate and share reports
where stakeholders work.
Business users
Finding insights. Digging
into insights requires
accessing reports from
multiple applications and
systems.
Time waste. Identifying
critical and action-orientated
insights from BI reports is time
intensive.
Data Stewards
Data sprawl. Lack of visibility and strong governance tools leads to sprawling data, excessive replication of data, and security risks.
Fuel your AI innovation
Adopt a data platform that’s infused
with AI at every layer to help you get
more done, faster
•Use conversational language with Copilot
in Fabric to create dataflows and pipelines,
write SQL statements, or even build machine
learning models
•Simply describe what you need—including
reports, summaries, and calculations—or ask a
question, and Copilot in Power BI does the rest
•Use LangChain and Semantic Kernel to develop
and scale custom generative AI models—right
from your Fabric Notebook
•Deliver custom generative AI experiences like
tailored Q&A on your data with AI skills

Microsoft Fabric simplicity
Microsoft Fabric is a unified product for all yourdata and analytics workloads. Rather than provisioning and
managing separate compute for each workload, with Microsoft Fabric, your bill is determined by two variables:
the amount of compute you provision and the amount of storage you use.
COMPUTE
A shared pool of capacity that powers all
capabilities in Microsoft Fabric.
Pay-as-you-go and 1-year Reservation.
STORAGE
A single place to store all data.
Pay-as-you-go ($ per GB/month).
32 Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric capacity
COMPUTE
A shared capacity that provides a set of capacity units (CUs) powering the compute for Data Warehouse, Data
Integration, Data Science, Data Engineering, Real-Time Intelligence, Power BI, and Copilot.
Simplicity of
purchasing
No need to purchase
separate compute for
each workload
Flexibility
in use
With no pre-allocation
required, the same set
of CUs can be used for
any workload
Cost
savings
All CUs are pooled together
and are not locked to an idle
workload. Smoothing on
compute usage also allows
you to size capacity closer
to the average usage than
the peaks

33 Microsoft Fabric
How it works
COMPUTE
Capacity units (CUs) = Compute power
Capacity units (CUs) are units of measure that represent a pool of compute power needed.
Compute power is required to run queries, jobs, or tasks.
CU Consumption
The CU consumption is highly correlated to the underlying compute effort needed for the tasks
performed by the capability during the processing time.
Each capability, such as Power BI, Spark, Data Warehouse, with the associated queries, jobs, or
tasks has a unique consumption rate.

Copilot in Fabric pricing
Copilot in Fabric is available in all paid SKU but not included in the Fabric free account or trial or Power BI per
user licenses
You can simply count Copilot usage against your existing Fabric or Power BI Premium capacity
Copilot usage is measured by the number of tokens processed. Tokens can be thought of as pieces of words.
Approximately 1,000 tokens are about 750 words. Prices are calculated per 1,000 tokens, and input and output
tokens are consumed at different rates
Operation in Metrics AppDescription Operation Unit of MeasureConsumption rate
